Senatorial Contests.

The election of United States senator is
greatly disturbing the temper of some of
the states. In New York the trouble is
among the Republicans alone, two gentle.
men of heavy purse contending for the
prize, which third thinks he will carry
off from both. New Jersey and Indiana
seem TO be almost on the throes of revolu-
ton over the matter. Indiana has a con-
test over who shall be inaugurated as lieu.
tenant governor, which the courts have de-.
cided against the Democrats, and the court
doubtless was right. The Democrats
should Concede this point as lost, but they
are not in a conceding humor. Each
party has one house Of the legislature, and
each expects the sharpest practice from the
other. There certainly ought not TO be
such state Of feeling; but it seems to be
inevitable to political contests. Fair deal
ing is the last thing looked for. The Re-
publican party is q gross offender in this
way. Decency has never restrained from
taking unfair party advantage, and since
the stealing of the presidency for Hayes, the
mouths of its partisaps are closed to conn.,
plant against political procedure never.
theless it is wrong and we shall be sorry 10
see Democratic legislatures doing anything
that is unlawful to secure United States
senator. In New Jersey the Democratic
candidate for the legislature whom Chief
Justice Beasley declared to be tied with
his opponent, should not claim his seat.
We would have the Democrats stand
firmly everywhere, and always when they
are satisfied that they are right, and
yield speedily always when they know that
they are wrong.

DR.. ALLEN HAMILTON appeared as an
expert witness in the Emmons trial In
Washington, and gave the following opinion
of delusions There are two kinds of delu.
sions sane delusions and insane delusions.
A person may bes believer in spirituslism,
aud yet be sane They might believe that
spirits lowered around them and yet be sane.
But if they did some act, breach of the peace,
because their grsndfather's spirit had told
them to do so, they would then be called in.
sane" Those who are fond of arguing the
sanity or insanity of Hamlet, can now tax Q
ground that he was sane until he tried TO
follow the ghosts directions aud killed Po-
lonius that he then became insane and sf-
terwards his sanity returned and con ntinued
until his final breach of the peace" Dr..
Hamilton may be good medical authority,
but it would puzzle him to diagnose the
Prince of Denmark.
